Beautiful game and a far more engaging experience than most escape room games I've played.
I loved that there was a story element present. The crumbs you were fed were just enough to leave you curious and hungry for more.
Graphically the game was beautiful. I loved the art style and the obviously alien sky. The steampunk aesthetic came through loud and clear and it was amazing.
The audio cues were well placed. The Music was wonderful. That elevator ride up definitely had an epic feel to it with that music. No complaints here.
Really, no complaints at all. If I had to offer one critique was just that button placement next to the dial. I kept hitting the button when trying to turn the dial. Some of the menu interactions with the dial were a little quirky. Sometimes it would remember where my selection was, sometimes it wouldn't. Especially when unlocking those sub systems.
That's really it. The gameplay was fun and engaging. I didn't feel like I was in headset for over an hour. Time flew by.
Really the worth of the game will be in the longevity of the game and how many hours. This is potentially a significant weakness. I'm seeing people in other Steam reviews saying average 2-3 hours depending on skill level with one reviewer claiming a second playthrough only took half an hour. That may be a bit steep for some at 19.99.
If you're a fan of escape rooms, don't miss this one. If you've just a passing interest maybe wait for a sale. It was a lot of fun, but might be too short to feel like you got your moneys worth.

It was a good game, but a bit too short. I hope it receives some updates in the future to add more content, but as it stands it only has 2-3 hours of gameplay. It is definitely worth playing, but you may consider waiting for a sale. I loved every moment of playing this game. It had a good story, and extremely fun controls. The sense of mystery brought by the discreet storytelling, and limited view of the outside world made it very captivating.

I'd probably recommend this game, but don't expect your hand to be held at all during it. It would be cool if there was more story that wasn't hidden in logs and such, but it doesn't really matter if you look at this game as an escape room-esque game.
My only problems with the game are with the space needed. You definitely need more space than some VR game require. The way around this is to reset your view within SteamVR by pressing the menu button, but it was still annoying. The very last puzzle was also a little annoying, I thought I was doing everything right but nothing was happening, but I guess I didn't have a level pushed *all* the way or something.
Outside all that though, I'd say this game was a really cool experience. Just wish it was a little longer or maybe had more depth or something since it only takes like 2 hours to beat. I'd say what was there was quality enough to justify only a $20 purchase though

I had a lot of fun with this game! If you love escape room games in VR like Flow Weaver, this one will scratch that itch as well. I had a hard time putting this game down.
Things may look hard to figure out but the game does give you subtle hints. The game felt pretty immersive and the puzzles satisfying.
The first time it took me around 2 hours to beat and 35 mins the second time. You can play stationary but you do have to stand up and move your arms around to pull the switches so you need a couple feet of space in front you and to the side.
I have a full walkthrough if anyone needs help:

Great game. You can never really see what's going on outside your crawler so a lot of things evolve in your head wich is awesome. The replay value is limited once you're through, especially when you've played nauticrawl beforehand and I hope something will be integrated to get me back to it again.
Nevertheless, worth every penny.

Almost
immersive, great puzzle VR,
once you get whats going on.
just lacks more polishing.
Around 2.5 hrs game play,
works well on Quest 3 with VD Streamer.
Worth it on sale.

It's Nauticrawl, in VR. That game was pretty neat as it was, but the immersion added by VR is basically perfect for it. Not terribly long, but worth the time it asks of you.
